Totally Free Fall Front Porch Ideas

Hey my sweet friends. Happy Monday! Thank you so much for coming by, I have some totally free fall front porch ideas to share with you today, courtesy of my decorated for fall and totally free front porch. Whew, that was a mouthful.

First let me catch you up a bit. I’ve been keeping something from you for a couple of weeks, my friends, and I guess it’s time to let it out. My sweet engineer’s employer did some restructuring and let him know a couple of weeks ago that the new structure doesn’t include him.

Yep, had to pick my jaw up from the floor too.

We are moving forward, knowing deep in our guts that God is in control, that he has an amazing plan for us, and that this, for reasons only He knows, is the first step in that plan. (prayers, however, are quite welcome :))

Now for the bright side: having a husband at home means that our house is cleaner, and that I have someone to help with blog projects! ;) As long as they are free…

So…like any midwestern girl obsessed with fall, I wanted a lovely cozy and rustic front porch for the season. I had purchased ONE mum for a photo shoot before the job loss, so I had that, and a box of old fall decor from the basement to work with, but I wanted pumpkins.

I asked my sweetie to make me some pumpkins from our abundant supply of scrap wood.

He used pallet wood, barnwood, and a leftover 2×6 to build the cutest gourds this girl ever saw.

Since none of our scraps were substantial enough to stand on their own, they were stacked and glued/nailed together for more heft. (get a Ryobi Brad Nailer like ours here. we LOVE this thing!)

Leftover faux fall foliage (say that three times fast) completes that corner.

On the other side of the porch, I threw a cozy throw on the rocking chair (totally free tip: yes, you can use blankies outside), and perched one of last year’s faux pumpkins on our aged metal side table.

Our front porch is tiny, but now it’s cozy too, and full of rustic fall fun. I call that a win for the home team!

I’m sorry about your husband’s job but your attitude and trust in the Lord will get you through it. Hey, maybe he could make and sell some of those cute pumpkins while he waits :) I love the “pumpkiny” addition of the leaves, that added the needed touch.

Your sweet engineer’s employer lucked out BIG time Kimm. Those pumpkins are gorgeous, stems and all. Here’s wishing you guys many happy hours on your tiny porch, it’s beautifully cosy. P.S I’m still trying to say leftover faux fall foliage slowly (i haven’t gotten to doing it fast yet) and all that comes out of my mouth are four letter words that sound wrong :-( I’ll keep on trying though. Sending lots of love from down here in the South

So sorry to hear the news about your hubby’s job loss Kim. I’ve been out of touch the past several weeks so hopefully by now things are looking up. You’re right though, God is in control. Cute pumpkins and such a creative use of materials. It’s amazing what we can come up with when we put our minds to it :)

Hi! I'm Kimm. I like chai tea lattes, stripes, The Ohio State Buckeyes, and paint. And I'm learning to love power tools. And dogs. I mean, I already love dogs. And my kids.
